Plans include additional permanent-mold and materials-handling space, as well as the addition of die-casting, sand-casting and squeeze-casting capabilities for custom magnesium and magnesium alloys and composites.
Magna opened an aluminum casting facility in Telford, England, that will supply structural castings to Jaguar Land Rover. The 225,000-square-foot facility, which is expected to employ 300 people, will use Magna’s patented vacuum die-casting process. The advanced lightweight aluminum castings produced help maximize strength and stiffness and minimize weight, which improves fuel economy, safety and handling.
